I was wondering, so I took a look at Fanlore, and was kind of shocked.

What a search for podfic looks like now (all those redirects, those are "Hi! Redoing all your work!" notices, aren't they?):


What an entry for a podfic looks like now:


Which is ridiculous. If I want to read about podfic, I don't want to have to wade through a lot of fic summaries and reviews. I want to know what that podfic did that was new and original, how it was recorded (I'm a geek, I want to know OS and program information /o\ ), the podfic's reception in fandom, and reviews and responses to the podfic.

It also raises the question of what happens with podfic anthologies: will they be broken up, each fic in an anthology appended like an afterthought to fic entries? I'd much rather have them together, with links to fic pages (and to individual podfic pages, if for example one of the podfics in an anthology was notable for, say, being sung a cappella, etc.).
